## Probe Calibration

This section applies to PC-DMIS version 3.7_MR3 or later and CMMs equipped with MEA correction and controller firmware versions as follows:

- SMP3xx with firmware version 20.1 or later –or–

- SMP400 controller with firmware version 105.0 or later

This procedure applies only to SMP controllers as defined above. It does not apply to MP-35 controllers. The MEA correction data is still applied in MP-35 controllers. The previous method to calibrate probes should be followed.

If tips are/need to be calibrated at a position other than the MEA position, MEA_CALIB_SPHERE tool must first be used to calibrate a Tip0 in PC-DMIS at the MEA position. This same ‘Tip0’ MUST then be calibrated at the new tool position. This process will accurately establish the position of the tool at the new location. All other tips may then be calibrated at the new tool position.
